in the uk we call them shockers, in the u.s they are struts. lol. same thing either way, just a language barrier thing. i was asking because i know you can get seal kits for the 300zx. was just an off chance these could have been the same, thats all.


ive just looked @ the KYB`S on ebay. i would not call them cheap @ $200+. ive found some stock replacements in the uk @ £55 each by quinton hazel which are a very well known company over here.

We refer to the shocker as something completely different in the states, and to avoid getting banned I'm not going to describe it.
